Abstract

The study aimed to determine the prevalence of urinary incontinence (UI) during pregnancy and to identify its association with obstetric variables. A cross-sectional study in which pregnant women with prenatal routine, in the age group of 18 and 35 years old, with low-risk gestation and in the second or third trimester were included. The sociodemographic questionnaire and the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire - Short Form were used. The pregnant women were grouped according to the presence or absence of symptoms of urinary loss. The statistical tests used were Fisher’s test and Mann-Whitney test. Prevalence of UI was 36.7%. In the bivariate analysis, no significant association was found between the obstetric variables and the UI, but in the analysis of the continuous variables, there was a significant association between parity and UI. It is necessary the act of the health professionals in the fight against UI in the gestational period, identifying the possible risk factors for the appearance of this pathology.
